Online Worship, Sunday, October 4, 10am
World Communion Sunday
The first Sunday in October is designated as World Communion Sunday, which celebrates our oneness in Christ with all our brothers and sisters around the world. Paul tells us that we are to “discern the body” when we partake of Holy Communion, mindful that we note our relationship to all our brothers and sisters in Christ in the celebration. It is appropriate that World Communion Sunday is also a time when we receive the annual Peace and Global Witness Offering as a way of continuing the ancient Christian practice of sharing what we have with brothers and sisters in need.
During worship, we encourage you to enjoy coloring the Peace and Global Witness Offering coloring page. You can download the page HERE.
We take action today by offering a blessing of our own.
Through our participation in the Peace & Global Witness Offering, our church is extending Christ’s peace throughout our community — 25% of the gifts received will stay right here at the church to build God’s house. 25% will support regional efforts in our mid councils, and 50% will go the Presbyterian Mission Agency for its ministries of education and partnership with active peacemakers all around the world. Peacemakers in places like Cameroon, where violence and conflict threaten, peacemakers providing ministries of reconciliation inside prison walls, and peacemakers seeking to eradicate diseases like HIV-AIDS and their impacts on the most vulnerable, all gather with us at the table in God’s house. You can send your donation to the church marked Peace and Global Witness Offering or donate online HERE.
We will be live-streaming worship at 10am every Sunday until further notice, on GCPC's Facebook page. Please look for the broadcast to appear on the page on/around 9:55am. The video will be saved to our Facebook news feed after it concludes.
